If someone attempts to give equal weight to their own needs, the meds of their interlocutor, and the needs of the forum as a whole—how do we know whether they’ve got a reasonable answer? Does that just have to be left to moderator discretion, or?
Yes basically, but if the forum were to take on this direction, the idea would be to have enough case examples/explanations from the moderators about WHY they made that discretion to calibrate people’s reasonable answers. See also this response to Zach which goes more into details about the systems in place to calibrate people’s reasonable answers.
